Wiz Khalifa Cited For Marijuana Possession In Nashville

Metro Police said rapper Wiz Khalifa was cited for misdemeanor marijuana possession in Nashville on Saturday after investigators were called to his hotel room at the Holiday Inn on West End Avenue at about 8 p.m.

Wiz Khalifa, whose real name is Cameron Thomaz, 24, was in town to perform at Vanderbilt University's Rites of Spring concert, where he was the headliner.

Police said the front desk staff at the hotel called police and reported that they'd received several complaints about marijuana use in room 725, where the rapper was staying.

The front desk staff told investigators that they'd been up to the room and told the rapper and another man, Lonnie Howard, 27, about the complaints, police said.

Once officers arrived and went up to the seventh floor of the hotel, they smelled marijuana, knocked on the door to the room and when the door was opened, they saw the rapper throw a marijuana blunt out the window, police said.

When asked if there was any more marijuana in the room, both Thomaz and Howard said there wasn't, but police later found more marijuana on Howard, police said.

Both suspects later admitted to having the marijuana and were cited for the misdemeanor possession, police said.

They have until May 14 to show up at the Davidson County courthouse for booking on the charges.

According to Thomaz's Twitter account, he left Nashville on Sunday and has been in New York this week.

@row1000, I understand what you tryna say, but @ladytruth summed it up !! plus, having marijuana illegal creates unecessary criminals and floods & overpopulates the prison and jail systems for bogus reasons, then they use your hard earned money ("tax") to stuff their pockets and then tell you they fought crime. If they was to make it legal today, the economy would rebound in probably less than 2 years, cops would focus on real crimes, and the downturn is that alot of cops, judges, prosecutors, d.a. and public defenders would be without a job, I see that as a good thing. Like I said, If your concerned about something that really kills people everyday, fatal accidents, and inccoent men, woman, and children becoming victims of this 1 legal drug, than ban alcohol ! again I have to make it clear I don't smoke weed, I just have common sense to know that we live in a f*cked up society where hemp is illegal and alcohol plus tobacco isn't.

I knew it I really said that to my self when I saw his interview on the breakfast club holding a joint,, it was just a matter of time before the hiphop po po got on his a**... he flaunts it to much the powers that be never let you go to long flaunting breaking the law in public..he needs to get his medical card like snoop got..
